What Kars is Like

Conspectus: The Mad King of the High Tower - a hunchback with a malformed face - leading ill planned raids onto the continent; horrid bogs filled with nuckelavee; strange women lying in ponds distributing swords; Jabberwocks and other weird, wormy dragons; petty nobles fighting for who will be the next king once the current one is assassinated; Orknies carrying off children in the night; ancient stone circles with strange and terrible powers; haunted barrows of pagan kings; bands of outlaws stealing from the rich and giving to themselves; fanatical holy men chaining themselves to boats and casting themselves out to sea; crumbling, haunted manor houses; foul miasmas spreading plague; deadly tourneys that are little more than an excuse for murder; rustic northern lords who prefer raiding for cattle to dealing with the politics of the South; wise women who know how to heal and harm with ancient magics; long, winding roads harried by strange giants; foreign cronies who have brought devil worship into lordly courts; terrifying sea raids conducted by beastmen on unsuspecting villages.

Hrm, Abraham may have to cross Kars off his list of places to escape the Dark Country too... Or more accurately make a terrifying journey there and immediately begin plotting his next place to flee too.
